Getting very excited now!
What is everyone doing there? Whats your opinion on class sizes?
I read on the schedule that catalouged exhibits can enter more classes upto 4.30pm the day before.. am i right?
Anyway, on the thursday i am doing.. riding club horse and mini eventer exc 153cm. On the friday im doing int workers exc 153cm. Saturday another working hunter Then probably the unaff showjumping on the sunday if there is nothing else

As i said before is it possible to enter more classes the day before? if it is what classes do you showing experts think my boy would suit? (i am a complete showing novice, normally event)
He is 158cm 6 years old connie.. i noticed there are classes for 4,5 and 6 year olds?

Is there any special gear i need? Im 15 so should i wear joddy clips or gaiters?
Can you give me a brief overview of tack and clothing for the classes i have entered pretty please

Lovely horse I can only see the first pic but what you are wearing there is fine for your WH classes minus the breast plate, and if you have brown gloves and a hat with a leather harness i think they are more correct for showing but not essential, oh and a shirt and tie (couldnt see if that was what you were wearing in pic) I havent done showing in years so not too up to speed tho. Is there a class for connemaras? Sounds like a busy few days, lots of luck

Oh and def gaiters not joddy clips

thankyou for the help
he is a monkey though!
there are m&m classes-large breeds. I think connemara is included in this but i thought he was to big?

What a rip off !!!!

I have been trying to organise stabling either on site, or in a local yard for weeks to EQUIFEST

I have just found out that there are competitors that are being allowed to stable their ponies on there own horse boxes

If paying thru the nose isn't bad enough for temp stables to an overated & over priced show, why dont they at least keep the rules & policied FAIR,

why rip of competitors for stables, then cannot supply enough of them, they allow (on the quiet, if you complain long & hard enough) to secretly let the chosen few, stable there ponies YES PLURAL!!! on there boxes

Did you not organise yourself early enough to get a stable then?! You sound jealous, do you want to be allowed to keep your pony on your box?

Oh and by the way its THEIR ponies, on THEIR boxes.....
